Gautama Buddha Copper Figurine | Traditional Statue of the Enlightened Teacher
Gautama Buddha is a finely handcrafted Himalayan Buddhist sculpture created in Nepal by skilled artisans using traditional metalworking techniques. Measuring 6.5”/16.5cm in height with a 5.1”/13cm base and weighing 1.13 kg, it features a copper body covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding and detailed acrylic painting. The richly gilded surface gives the sculpture a refined appearance, while deeply engraved carvings produce a magnificent 3D-like effect, adding depth and dimension to the robes, lotus pedestal, and decorative details. The hand-applied acrylic painting brings color and definition to the facial features and other fine elements, complementing the intricate carving and gold work. Crafted with dedication and precision, this sacred artwork reflects the teachings of the historical Buddha and represents wisdom, peace, and the path toward enlightenment.
Seated in the traditional vajra posture, the figure is portrayed with the right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra, touching the earth, while the left hand rests in the lap holding an alms bowl. His peaceful expression, elongated earlobes, curled hair, and prominent ushnisha are characteristic features of the traditional Buddha form. The monastic robes are rendered with carefully defined folds and fine carved details, while the lotus throne features layered petals and ornamental patterns. The combination of detailed carving, gold finishing, acrylic painting, and gemstone embellishments highlights the traditional craftsmanship of the sculpture.

Shakyamuni Buddha, born Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism and the primary teacher of the current Buddhist era. Born into a royal family in ancient India, he renounced his privileged life in search of an end to suffering. After years of spiritual practice and meditation, he attained enlightenment at Bodh Gaya and became known as the Buddha, or “Awakened One.” He spent approximately forty-five years teaching the Dharma, including the Middle Way, the Four Noble Truths, and the Noble Eightfold Path, guiding beings toward wisdom, liberation from ignorance, and lasting peace.
